The title Duppy Conqueror should resonate with most Jamaicans. No, not because of the reggae song by the same name, but because it has been a title conferred upon a very tough person, a force of nature. The story is about a young man born in the mid nineteen sixties, confronted by gangs, the rude bous, and other more frightening focs of a paranormal nature. William's strength is informed by his religious parents and the Bible; but are they enough to keep him safe and alive in the concrete jungles of Jamaica? The story draws upon the real-life experience of family and friends. This is a work of fiction; however, the impact of the Holy Spirit is no fiction.
In the spring of 1967, the family, now comprising eight siblings, relocated to Jamaica: where the teenager apprenticed as a jeweler on the famed King St. in Kingston.

He sat the General Certificate of Education exam from Cambridge University, and of all his passes, he treasured most of his distinction in English. Leonard spent much of the time regaling his siblings with stories, made up and otherwise. The streets of Kingston were a feast to his eyes and ears, the sixties being a very turbulent time in Jamaica. After suffering serious illnesses, he settled in central Florida in his retirement decades, where he writes.
